Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 543
Looking at Yuan Shu who was full of joy, Liu Mastiff couldn't say anything to dissuade him. He looked at the crowd, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked suspicious. I'm afraid they also saw Yuan Shu's strangeness. These three close relatives could all feel the difference in Yuan Shu. During this period of time, Yuan Shu has changed too much. Yuan Shu said, looked at Zhou Yu who was beside him, and said, "Gong Jin, you also follow I!"

"Honestly!" Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed.

Everyone continued to chat. They had just returned to Luoyang. Liu Mastiff knew they were tired, so he didn't let them stay for too long. He just left Yuan Shu here to rest, and the rest left. Of course, Zhou Yu also stayed. Supporting Yuan Shu, he went back to the house to listen to his lecture. Liu Mastiff was about to go back, but seeing that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi hadn't left either, Liu Mastiff walked to them and asked, "Uncle, Zhongda, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness." Zhuge Liang frowned, and asked, "What medicine did the doctor disclose to Yuan?"

"I don't know either." Liu Mastiff shook his head and said helplessly, "However, Mr. Yuan is finally in good health. Isn't this all right?" He said with a smile, but the two people in front of him were You can see the bitterness hidden in his smile just by looking at it. Sima Yi pondered for a long time and asked, "He didn't cure my uncle, did he?"

Liu Mastiff was taken aback and didn't reply.

"He just asked my uncle to take it away to relieve his pain??" Sima Yi asked coldly.

Zhuge Liang on the side asked, "What is Fu San?"

"It is highly poisonous, it can cover up temporary pain, but destroy its root."

"Dog thief!!!" Zhuge Liang yelled violently, holding the saber in his hand, and walked towards the door. Liu Mastiff hurried forward, stretched out his hand, and firmly grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve, preventing him from leaving , Zhuge Liang turned his head in disbelief, looked at the prince, and asked, "Your Highness, do you know the truth?"

He saw Liu Mastiff's distorted face due to pain, tears kept falling from his eye sockets, he gritted his teeth, resisted, and nodded without making a sound.

Zhuge Liang didn't ask, and let go of the hand holding the sword hilt.

"Doctor Hua said that he came late, Shijun's time is running out, and I can't tell Shijun the truth, I can only make Shijun happy these days, I always look at Shijun, I don't know, if one day , I will never see him again, what will I look like. I am very scared in my heart, but I dare not say it, and I have not told anyone. I am still in constant contact with the doctor not to let Master know."

"At least, don't let him suffer like that."

Liu Mastiff cried and said.

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes in pain, unable to speak for a long time.

Sending off Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, Liu Mastiff sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. For some reason, his heart was always filled with deep fear. He took a deep breath, covered his head, and let himself no longer to think about it.

"Your Highness, Shi Jun is looking for you," Zhou Yu said in a low voice when she appeared behind him at some point.

Liu Mastiff stood up, saluted Zhou Yu, said thank you, and then went to Yuan Shu's house with him.

Entering the room, I saw Yuan Shu was sitting on the bed, not wearing a shirt, breathing deeply, his whole body looked extraordinarily thin, the skeleton was clearly visible, completely different from before, and the scars on his body became even more shocking , This is the first time Liu Mastiff has seen these scars on Yuan Shu's body. These scars show the supreme glory of a general who has fought a hundred battles. Liu Mastiff has seen many soldiers, but he has never seen so many scars that make people feel frightened.

At some point, Yuan Shu opened his eyes, saw Liu Mastiff in front of him who was a little sluggish, smiled, and said, "Why, are you scared?"

"This is the price of climbing all the way from a soldier to a master!"

Liu Mastiff possessed himself and bowed to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, let's get up." Yuan Shu said, put on his clothes again, took a few breaths, and said helplessly: "After taking this medicine, I feel hot and uncomfortable. If I hadn't read the powder, I would have thought Hua Tuo tricked me into surrendering!"

"Mastiff, tomorrow I will go to His Majesty and ask him to allow me to help Hua Xiong. I have known His Majesty since childhood, so he should not refuse. Perhaps I will leave Luoyang for a while. During these days , you go to your grandfather, and I will give him instructions. He has a lot of books hidden there, and you can bring them all. Anyway, he has no heirs. These books will be yours sooner or later. Then, you will It's a good life to study in the palace"

"How about I go too?" Liu Mastiff asked.

"You don't have to, just stay and study hard. When I come back, I still have to take the school exam!"

"Please!"

Liu Mastiff answered.

The next day, just before dawn, Yuan Shu left the East Palace and went to Houde Hall.

The emperor was sitting in the hall reading. He was overjoyed when he heard Yuan Shu coming, so he quickly asked Hanmen to bring him in. The emperor stood at the door and waited with a smile. Yuan Shu came in and saw the emperor in front of him. , the emperor pulled him up, smiled, and brought him to the Hu chair, which had a soft cushion specially for Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu sat down with the emperor.

"Highway. Long time no see. I heard that you are seriously ill, and I intend to visit you, but I have never had any free time, and things happen one after another." The emperor shook his head and said, Yuan Shu smiled disapprovingly, and said: "My little Illness, no need."

"Why have you lost so much weight? Hahaha, I still remember the first time we met in Luoyang. At that time, you were still a little fat man, and you were beaten up by me!" The emperor laughed and said, Yuan Shuwen Yan Yan also thought of the past, couldn't help laughing, and said: "At that time, if His Majesty hadn't brought too many people, maybe whoever beat whom!"

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense. I still remember that Ma Lang, you, and I were playing together in He Yeye's courtyard. It seems like yesterday"

"Yeah, these days are passing too fast. By the way, where is Ma Jun? I haven't seen him since I came back."

"He is staying in Ningzhou. I heard that he is going to do water conservancy there. He has been there for several years, but he has not come back."

"Is he stuttering now?"

"It's been a long time ago, but ah, after Wen Rengong passed away, his words have decreased a lot, and he doesn't like talking very much."

The two chatted for a long time before Yuan Shu said: "Your Majesty, this time, I came to you because of Hua Xiong's affairs. Your Majesty also knows that Hua Xiong is a man who speaks indiscriminately and is too straightforward. As an official, I'm afraid he will be bullied. I want to be a fake assistant to teach him. Although this person has no skills, but fortunately he doesn't do those things. He is a real person. If he is trained well, he will be able to Useful!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the emperor thought for a moment, and said, "How can I make you inferior to Hua Xiong? No, you will be the captain?"

"Your Majesty." Yuan Shu smiled bitterly. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. He didn't speak for a long time. After a long silence, he raised his head and said, "Your time is short, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be a minister." This duty."

"Road, you!"

The Son of Heaven looked dull, looking at Yuan Shu in front of him, speechless.

Yuan Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your body, I know that time is running out. Even if Bian Que is reborn, Mr. Hua will not be able to save me. The food he gave me is just something to suppress the pain." things, or loose."

"Then this." The emperor was stunned, speechless.

"Your Majesty, only I know about this matter. I didn't tell Mastiff. They all thought that I was already well. That's fine. Before I leave, I don't need to make them sad. It's good to leave like this. "Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't tell Mastiff about this. If he knows, he might feel very uncomfortable. Anyway, in this life, I have killed enough enemies and enjoyed wealth. I have no regrets either”

"However, if I leave, the officials in the Eastern Palace are still young, and I'm afraid that Mastiff will not be able to solve any problems, and he can't ask His Majesty for help in everything. Before I leave, I will teach Hua Xiong well. With him around, I can feel more at ease."

The emperor closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, sighed, and nodded.

Yuan Shu then continued to chat with the emperor, without any sadness or worry at all.

The emperor sent him away, but his heart was extraordinarily complicated. He sat in the Hall of Houde, and just sat there for a while, when he heard the report from the Han family that the prince came to see him.

Liu Mastiff came in, paid homage to the emperor, and sat in front of the emperor.

Liu Mastiff's complexion looked very bad, the emperor stared at it for a moment, and then asked: "What happened??"

Liu Mastiff raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, and he said, "Father, please agree to Master's request and let him help Captain Hua. Father doesn't know, Master, he is relying on Hua Tuo now. I don’t know how long he can hold on to the powder I made myself to drive away the pain, Father, have mercy”

Looking at Liu Mastiff who was crying bitterly in front of him, the emperor looked surprised, and he asked, "What? He?"

Pursing his lips, he sighed and said, "Mastiff, don't cry anymore, I know, I will agree."

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Father!"

Looking at the prince who wiped away his tears, his eyes were red, and walked out of Houde Hall, the emperor shook his head and sighed again.

Obtaining the emperor's consent, Yuan Shu took Zhou Yu and went to Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was still worried, but when he heard that Yuan Shu had come, he was happy and went out to meet him. When Yuan Shu saw him, he stretched out his hand with a smile. Said: "Xiao Lieutenant Sili pretends to assist Yuan Shu, and pays homage to Lieutenant Sili!"

Hua Xiong was stunned for a long time when he heard this, but he didn't realize it. When he saw Yuan Shu's official uniform, he realized it and was overjoyed.

He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, just get up. Although you are my subordinate, you have also been my commander-in-chief after all. I won't blame you for being rude!!!"

A group of three people walked among the countryside in Sili. Hua Xiong stroked his dark eye sockets and asked, "Lieutenant, don't we go see those subordinate officials and county magistrates?"

Yuan Shu shook his head and said seriously: "Remember, both of you, seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. These officials will never tell you the truth, they will only tell you what is most beneficial to them. If you really want to know the situation of a place, you have to go and see it yourself, go for a walk, at this time, you still have to be a student, dress up as a civilian husband, and go to see it quietly."

"In this way, you can see the real truth."

"This is what my teacher told me, and you should keep it in your heart."
